Do I need to change the pattern of a purse I make so I can legally sell it?
I am wanting to start making purses and selling them as a side business. I have a few patterns bought from stores and am going to be making my own designs also. I know that on the patterns it says that reproducing and then selling is illegal. I’ve been told if I change the pattern 10% that selling them would be legal. Does anyone know if this is true?
There has to be distinguishable changes and the labels cannot mimic the designer labels in style, color or be closely spelled so as to trick someone into thinking it’s real.
